Kayaking in Deception Pass State Park

Overview
No experience is necessary to join this professionally guided kayak trip. Bowman Bay is the perfect place for beginners to feel comfortable paddling on the sea. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers. If you plan to visit Deception Pass State Park then don't miss this wonderful opportunity to see it from the unique perspective of a sea kayak!

My sons and I had a fantastic tour. We saw a large purple sea star, Dungeness crabs, sea urchins, and a northern elephant seal. Our guide Tim was patient with my three sons and was knowledgeable about the marine organisms and local history. I will definitely come back again.

Our guide Tim was super helpful and informative. We loved the tour. We got to see some sealife and even taste some of the kelp. Didnā€™t see any orcas. But we were aware they might not pop up. Definitely recommend!!

Jay our guide was wonderful! Both quite professional and patient, with his knowledge and respect of the area was able to share history and beauty! Great experience, will be back with out of town guests! Perhaps even venture into a multi day package for ourselves! Donā€™t wait for the weather to be perfect!
